By MONTE DUTTON (Monte Dutton photo) https://www.facebook.com/UpstateInsuranceConsultants It’s been quite the football weekend. I’m sort of overwhelmed. Clinton won. Laurens won. Furman won. Presbyterian won. (Oh, wait. This just arrived via Pony Express. King beat Laurens Academy, 26-22.) Thornwell lost, 59-0, to a team called the Anderson Cavaliers. Oh, the Saints are just starting out. …

The easy part’s over now, and the hard part begins
By MONTE DUTTON Cally Chizik, Braden Gilby (43) and Micah Robinson (14) converge. (Furman photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ By Monday, Furman was over the shame of beating The Citadel by two touchdowns. As Robert Duvall, as Augustus Macrae, said, “They’s worse thangs.” The sense of urgency now is for the Paladins to play better because the rest …

The case of the subdued feud
By MONTE DUTTON Luke Shiflett says hello to the end zone. (Furman photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ Life is full of surprises. Wonders, even. A few weeks ago, I noted that I hadn’t seen a close game all year, and I watched two of the best I’ve ever seen in the next two nights. As Harry Caray, used …
Furman takes care of The Citadel business, 28-14
By MONTE DUTTON Tyler Huff looks for a receiver. (Monte Dutton photo) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ It wasn’t pretty. Okay, the day was. It didn’t look much like a rivalry. Furman just took care of business – no more, no less – in a 28-14 victory over The Citadel at Paladin Stadium in front of 12,157 fans on …

By MONTE DUTTON Jack Rhodes (15) stepped up at free safety. (Furman photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ A look at The Citadel’s stat sheet requires little analysis. There’s not a lot there. Furman’s ancestral Southern Conference rival is 0-5. The average score is 44-7. The Bulldogs’ FBS trip was to Georgia Southern. They have since fallen to Campbell, …
But I kid The Citadel …
By MONTE DUTTON (Furman photo) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ It was good to be back at Furman on Monday. It’ll be great to be there on Saturday when The Citadel comes to town. I suppose the annual battles between South Carolina’s Athens and Sparta don’t seem as frantic as they once did. The addition to the Southern Conference …
Hitting the high points
Kadon Crawford (5) (Monte Dutton photo) https://www.sadlerhughes.com/ The wide, wide world of sports is dotted with many absurd features among its bells and whistles. Not to mention the world at large. For instance, how can there be an indoor yard sale? How can a show be “live on tape from the Ed Sullivan Theater”? Or …
From a jack to a king
By MONTE DUTTON Sometimes it can go either way. (Furman photos) https://dunesproperties.com/agent/mark-mitchell/ When Presbyterian upset Wofford, 23-20, I thought, thank God, I saw it. When South Aiken upset Clinton, 41-30, I thought, thank God, I didn’t. In the latter case, I was listening to most of it after serving as one of the judges in …

Several ply their trade in the Southern Conference. Not many run and pass as well, but the Paladins’ 38-14 victory over Mercer on Saturday in the Southern …
